The mint officials thought that hoarders were keeping to many coins so they decided to stop putting mint marks on coins. A slight backlash and the 3 year experiment yielded very little differences so the mint marks came back by 1968. <br />

Trying a little iPhone photography on this post, but I cannot get it right, I would need a steady hand or a tripod which I do not have.<br />
<br />
There also seems to be varieties in the font of LIBERTADOR B O'HIGGINS, where a larger font also indicates it is from the Chilean mint. The value is the same in either case and the mintage remains a mystery but seem to pretty common in change, although a lower amount of Royal dutch Minted coins appears.<br />

This is from the 1986 to 1998 series, after this one the updated the queen's portrait. It is copper-nickel and has an exchange value equal to US currency. It is common although it has a low mintage but there is no huge market for these as the the banks still have plenty on hand. So I don't suspect that the value will go up even if the Bermudan government announces they discounted the twenty-five cent coin.<br />

Bag damage on the front where Washington's wig meets his neck. Bag damage refers to the time after a coin is minted and it gets dumped into carts, crates, and bags to get shipped. This damage is unwanted but for circulating coins does not affect value even on rare pieces.<br />
<br />
Damage made outside the mint of by accident does lower value. Bag damage is part of the process but ideally you want a circulating coin to not have any for maximum value and appeal. <br />

<b>So who suggested this small but huge change? </b><br />
It was the mint employees themselves, that must be the coolest suggestion box in our government. The follow through was done by the mints officials without any laws. Why? Because a minor change like mint marks does not need any federal approval. Designs, compositions, and inscriptions do need approval so everything that is not under those rules is up to the mint officials.<br />
<br />
More surprises are expected some will be by law but some may just pop up so keep up that change hunting. (Of course they have no extra value but it is a cool collectors item.)<br />

The design of this coin has gone unchanged since 1951. The biggest change from previous issues is the date. This one is Year 2 which is a Heisei era coin under the emperor Akihito. The previous was <span class="_Tgc">Emperor Hirohito whose coinage bears the Sh</span><span class="_Tgc"><span class="_Tgc">ō</span>wa era symbols.</span> Upon the emperor's death it will change again starting from year 1 and counting up until death.<br />

It has been 30 years of the golden Canadian dollar, previously they used a 100% nickel dollar but that was getting expensive. Switching to a Aureate-Bronze Plated Nickel saved some money but also made the coin more distinguishable in the circulating coins. <br />
<br />
United States of America having issues with dollar coins tried again in 2000 with somewhat of a success. Making the coin golden made it better to accept among consumers and businesses. Unfortunately we still prefer dollar bills since they are lighter and traditional.<br />
<br />

This is a clad quarter meaning it has a copper core and a reverse and and obverse layer of copper-nickel mix. From a manufacturing point of view coins should last long enough to survive heavy circulation yet can be made relatively cheaply. Seeing how this 1967 coin has been around for fifty years it was designed correctly. <br />

At least in New York City people use to get Dominican quarters and use them to feed parking meters. Since the exchange value was low $10 dollars of was like $100 in Dominican quarters, after dealers fees, and would sometimes work in vending machines. Thanks to new coin reading technology, more expensive meters and vending machines, and easier credit/debit card usage this made large Dominican coin scams harder to use.<br />
<br />
<br />
This one looks like a U.S. dollar coin so it may have passed as one somewhere. I got it as a quarter.<br />

More of the Denver version of this coin was minted mainly because there was more demand for it. The western portion of America has a largely population mostly because of California. The largely population uses more coins so when bank on the west side of the country run low on any type of coin they order more from the the closest Federal Reserve which in this case it is the Denver mint.<br />
<br />
I may have skipped some steps on how local banks get new money from mints but it basically is there. <br />

Nice coin has some permanent fingerprint which happens on nearly all coins. The oils, acids, and just normal chemistry on are hands will "rust" all types of metal even certain precious metals. In higher grades this would lower value but for circulating or rare coins it wouldn't matter much. <br />

Gettysburg is more than a great speech it is the site that saw the pro-slavery south meet their defeat at the hands of the pro-land north. General Lee, not the cool car, started strong but July 4th was running away after a huge loss of cavalry.<br />
<br />
The statue is that of the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry Monument found on High Water Mark at Cemetery Ridge. The High Water Mark is the deepest the Confederate forces went that day of the battle.<br />

Austria has typical European issues like extremism versus radical groups causing instability. That said they are not seriously thinking of dropping the euro so this currency will be around for a while keeping collectors value low.<br />
<br />
Here are the stats...<br />

<br />
A summary of what I found in my change.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Change Finds: </b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The graph is for world coins found with 46 different countries
found.<br />
--Canada again is 1st with 107<br />
--Great Britain is 2nd with 26<br />
--France is 3rd with 10<br />
China and Germany come in the top five also.<br />
<br />
New countries found in my change include Aruba, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Cyprus, Guyana, Honduras, Romania, and Sri Lanka. I found
less coins compared to last year and less variety.<br />
<br />

No odd finds mostly small coins but a lot of new quarters.<br />
<br />
<b>Oldest United States Find</b><br />
<a href="http://coinedformoney.blogspot.com/2016/12/1905-liberty-head-nickel.html" target="_blank">1905 Nickel</a><br />
<br />
<b>Oldest Foreign Find</b><br />
1915 Austrian 10 Heller<br />
<br />
<b>Most Valuable Find (above face value)</b>: tie<br />
1918 United States Nickel at about $3.00<br />
<br />
<b>Most Valuable Foreign Find</b><br />
1988 Brazilian (Doubled) 50 Centavos at about $2.00<br />
<b><br />Most Surprising Find </b><br />
13 notes from around the world including $2 bills given to me by a friend who works retail by her creepy customer. She gave them to me because she thought they were cursed and no else wanted them at her job.<br />
<br />
<b>Books:</b> Nothing new or exciting.<br />
<br />
<b>Websites:</b> Went mobile for this blog and trying some SEO (search engine optimization) stuff to make it better.<br />
<br />
<b>Equipment:</b> Macro camera lens, a 60mm.<br />
<br />
<b>Summary: </b><br />
Not bad this year with 433 finds, that is less than last year but still
higher than average for me. Most were repeats but many were
unique pieces. Again unfortunately none were rare or valuable. (Same as last year basically.)<br />
<br />
Probably the last time I get so many since I changed my coin collecting habits recently. So After I get through my old finds I will focus on getting the common U.S. coins from the last 50 years.<br />
<br />

German euro cents are common from each of the five mints about 100 million were made. Hans Tietmeyer was former head of the Bundesbank and helped Germany convert to Euros, he recently passed away. Granted now some in Germany think if they leave the euro system they can turn the economy around.<br />

The coin is almost 112 years old and a bit worn still all the essential elements like date, value, and the head are still quite visible. The word LIBERTY is not visible at all in her crown so at most the grade is good (G-4).<br />

<br />
The second <a href="http://coinedformoney.blogspot.com/2013/04/1965-syria-2-12-piastres.html" target="_blank">Syrian coin</a> I found and it is not a coincidence that I found it now. Currently in Syria, especially Aleppo, there is a civil war going on. Half a dozen factions are fighting for control of the country and in the process it is causing massive destruction.<br />
<br />
Reporters and humanitarians are traveling to Syria and bringing back, among other items, coins. This is my best guess on how I recently found this 5 Piastres or 5 Qirsh coin in my change.<br />

I found at least 68 unique Canadian coins from 1916 to 2012. There are over 100+ cents between that time and I have most of the later issues. Now it is all about finding the older ones.<br />
<br />

Smaller production and many years skipped still does not make this coin rare.<br />

The previous issue was the same composition but 19mm compared to this one at 17mm. Also it is lighter at 1.75g compared to the previous 2.50g. Not sure how much money was saved since the production historically is small but any cost saving is good, I guess.<br />

Both are relatively common but the near beads seemed to have been minted less and holds a slightly better value.<br />

<br />
By 1982 the Royal Canadian Mint made design changes to the one cent coin changing them from round to twelve-sided as well as changing the denticles around the rim to beads. A minor adjustment to the beads in 1983 lead to varieties for that year.<br />
<br />
<b>Far Beads: </b>The more common variety has what appears to be a larger gap between the rim and the beads, enough to fit three or more beads inline between that empty space.<br />
<br />
<b>Near Beads:</b> Less common has a smaller gap between the rim and the bead, enough to fit 2 or less beads in that same space.<br />
<br />
Again due to the imprecision of mass coin production often it is not possible to tell which variety that any 1983 Canadian cent may actually be. Some rims are thicker, some beads are bigger, and just plain dirt at the rim will make identification more difficult. 60-80% of these cents appear to be Far Beads.<br />
<br />

<br />
First <a href="http://www.necn.com/news/new-england/Proposed-Coin-Honoring-Teacher-McAuliffe-377998531.html" target="_blank">New Hampshire senators</a> have proposed a bill to make a commemorative coin featuring Astronaut/Teacher Christa McAuliffe who died in 1986 on the space shuttle Challenger. Proceeds for the sale would support Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) causes.<br />
<br />
Second there are <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/21/us/mlk-eleanor-roosevelt-susan-anthony.html" target="_blank">changes coming to the $20, $10, and $5 bills</a>. Notable the addition to Harriet Tubman to the front of the $20 bill and moving Andrew Jackson to the back.<br />
<br />
On the $10 bill the back will feature Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Coffin Mott, Alice Paul, and Isabella "Sojourner Truth" Baumfree.<br />
<br />
On the back of $5 bill will be Marian Anderson, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.<br />
<br />
With the exception of Marian Anderson I see these all as great historical figures to ass alongside of the founding fathers. Of course like the founding fathers none of them were perfect but they all made America a greater country.<br />
<br />
Nothing against Marian Anderson but I think it sets a precedent for entertainers to be on regular currency. it then becomes a popularity contest.

Afurika Tshipembe is South Africa in the Venda language. About 2% of the population of South Africa speaks this language but that is enough to make it an official language. There are 11 official languages in all.<br />
<br />
On the other side of coin is a King Protea flower which looks as fantastical in person.<br />
